Pickathon brought thousands of people to Pendarvis Farm in Happy Valley, Oregon, about 15 minutes from downtown Portland. Pickathon is a three day music festival featuring dozens of bands, local food, and multiple stages. Pickathon is the only major outdoor music festival in the United States to minimize all single-use, cups, dish ware and utensils. The festival is plastic free, uses renewable energy, composts, recycles and promotes alliterative transportation. Aug 2-4th 2013. (Joshua Lewis / KATU News)
